Censure:

Kid Dracula

Originally when Kid Dracula is flying in the intro sequence, he will pass a part of a church with a cross on the very top of it and a bell ringing. The tower was altered in the International version to not give any resemblances to religion. Despite this change, you can still hear the bell ringing even though it was removed.

Piccole modifiche.

In the DLC update, Ninja Gaiden Black, Ayane's kunai messages featured fully voiced dialogue, which was not a feature in the original version. In Ninja Gaiden Sigma, the text and dialogue that explained the controls were changed to reference both PlayStation 3 controls and altered mechanics.

L'importanza di Arale:

Super Mario (serie)

In a 1996 interview with Shigeru Miyamoto published in Super Mario 64's first Japanese strategy guides, he revealed that Mario's running animation, speed and movements in that game were influenced by Arale, the main protagonist of the 1980 Akira Toriyama manga/anime "Dr. Slump":

"The area around his hips is a big "joint" that controls which way his body moves. We created all his movements from that point of origin: when he accelerates and inclines forward, when he turns and leans left or right, etc. So Mario sort of runs like Arale-chan, with the correct sense of weight in the body."

However, Dr. Slump's influence throughout the Mario series could trace back even further. Some particular examples from Mario games include:

• His running speed, animation, the Racoon and Tanooki Suits from Super Mario Bros. 3
• The Wing Cap from Super Mario 64
• The Cat Suit from Super Mario 3D World

Even traits of Mario's happy cartoonish personality, his short stature and gloves, and blue-red-overalls color scheme bear enough similarities that they all could have been taken from Arale's appearances and other elements throughout Dr. Slump. Despite this, outside of Miyamoto's comment, these connections are not known to have been elaborated on by any other employee from Nintendo.

Limitazioni tecniche:

Hardware limitations of the original PlayStation caused the development team to cut the frame rate in half and have only a handful of enemies appear on the screen at a time, among other technical restraints.

Annaffiare le piante:

Brave Fencer Musashi

Using the Water Scroll's bubble attack on plant enemies can make them double in size. However, this doesn't affect the amount of damage they deal, items they drop, or amount of health they have.

Cambi

Both Chie and Teddie's voice actors (Tracey Rooney and Dave Wittenberg respectively) were unable to reprise their roles. They were replaced with the "Persona 4: The Animation" actors, Erin Fitzgerald and Sam Riegel.

Solo con le hack

There are four weapons that can only be unlocked by hacking the game; Poisontongue, Widow's Death, Writheheart, and Sealaxe: Calamitous Rhythm. However, the Sealaxe (which is a weapon class that can only be used by Urick) was usable as a longsword (a weapon style unique to Nowe).

Titolo cambiato:

Metal Gear Rising

Modifiche

In the Japanese version of Trauma Center: Under the Knife and its remake Trauma Center: Second Opinion, the patient Linda Reid is 14 years old. For the North American localization of the game, she was aged up to 17. However, the localization team forgot to account for this detail when localizing Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2, which takes place three years after the first game, as Reid is also 17 in the North American localization of the game when she should actually be 20.

Il potere dei fulmini:

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

During the boss fight on the third stage, you can see bursts of lightning in the clouds. If you throw a dagger at the Cyclops precisely at the point when a lightning bolt is about to strike down, its energy will collect into the dagger as it makes contact and thus electrocute the beast, taking off one quarter of its health.

No fix

Almost none of the Nintendo 64 version's bugs were fixed. Nintendo did this to give players the same experience as in the Nintendo 64 version of the game, going as far to say they were fun.

Un Link tra le stelle:

Super Mario 3D World

Hidden halfway through the first level of World Star is a cloud which will launch the player to a secret bonus stage consisting of tiles floating in space. Lighting up the tiles will reveal Link as he appears in The Legend of Zelda, accompanied with a disco rendition of the series theme.

Una genesi diversa

The game started out as a diffrent game called "Room 302." It is unknown what was changed and when the change was made, but it is believed that the Silent Hill name was added to make sure it would sell

In principio doveva essere un altro Darius

Under the initial internal name "Darius Part 22", development began as the third entry in the Darius series before being reworked into an original game, as its atmosphere was deemed to be very dark by Taito during production phase.
